Referring to Mr.. Manley's article, and an
editorial in to-day's Press, relating to the
above bill, why would it not be well instead
of inserting clause excepting the Maine
Central and other roads from the operation
of the proposed Law, to simply state in the
bill just aehdt railroads they wish to consoli-
date with, and have no exceptions and no
ambiguity about it?
If, as the Boston & Maine assures Mr..
Manley, the Portland, Saco & Portsmouth
and Old Orchard branch are all, it would
take less time and space to name them than
1t would to specify the exceptions.

DEATH IN THE WIRE.
Something should be Done to Re.
move the Electric Light Trap.

move the Electric Light Trap.
"There is death in the electric light
wire
Thus spoke a prominent electrician
of this city, last week. "The worst OF
it is, the danger is increasing daily"
he continued, land the public should
be made aware of it. The longer the
wire is in service the greater is the
danger. Something should be done,
and the quicker the better. You
may rest assured that moth
ing will he done by the electric
light companies until the pub
lie compels them to act. The
trouble is the American people are
long suffering. They pay little heed
to probable dangers and only act when
the dire result Of their heedlessness is
made manifest. No one will deny
that the electric wires which RUN
along Chestnut street are each charged
With electricity sufficient in strength
to kill dozens of men. The only safe
guard is the thin insulating covering
on the wires. In hundreds Of places
the heavily charged elongated death
traps run within easy reach of the peo-
pile in their houses and stores. Chill
dren can lean out OF second story win
dows and touch them in many places,
as can and do thousands of working
men and girls in mills and workshops.
'There are several ways in which
the current might be turned from the
wire sufficiently to cause death.
They may talk as they please about
perfect and lasting insulation, but ev-
cry electrician knows that exposure to
weather, the swaying Of wires against
trees and the dragging of telegraph
and telephone wires across the coating
of the electric light wire is bound to
injure and finally to wear it away.
The wires have been up long enough
to render the insulation rotten. and it
is getting worse every day. That is
why say the danger is increasing.
Should a wire become detached
from pole and left to swing near the
street, as has been the case several
times, and should man chance to
touch the wire at a point where the
Insulation was imperfect, he would be
killed instantly. Should man press
the point OF Il penknife through the
covering, as could easily be done, the
chances are ten to one that he would
end his life at that instant Or should
one of the many people at second
story windows touch a wire where the
insulation was bad the same fatal
result would follow.
"In case OF fire the danger is very
great to firemep. Cutting and drag
ging telephone wire. down eonse-
quently wears off the insulation. Now,
suppose a fireman, standing on the
wet ground and holding nozzle OF a
pipe against a charged electric light
wire at a point where the insulator
was imperfect. The connection to
the ground through the stream of
water to the fireman would be almost
perfect, and death would surely fol-
low. These are few of the dangers.

Aninven,ion for windmi,,s.

Windmills are very ancient inven-
ton, but are not OF much practical
value in a country where fuel is cheap,
from the extreme irregularity OF the
wind upon which they depend. II il
hoped that remedy for this defect
has been found by the Due DE Feltre,
in the transformation of the surplus
energy OF windy weather by causing it
TO drive dynamo, thus converting it
into electricity, with which he
charges batteries OF storage cells.
These in turn can be utilized to drive
the machinery in time OF calm. Any
such plan is OF course attended by a
very large waste OF power, but when
the original quantity is so enormous as
it is in a gale Of wind, waste is mat
ter of very little moment. Before the
world is macy generations older more
attention will have to be given to the
question Of yoking the great forces of
nature to cur machinery, and utilizing
the enormous energy OF the winds,
waves and tides, not to mention water
power and the direct radiation from
the sun. Our store Of coal will doubt
less last for many long day to come,
but we ought not to forget that we are
race of spendthrifts, living ON our
capital, and that we must not miss any
opportunity OF economizing Che limited
resources Of our estate.

verse with his daughter the night be-
fore--and he heard loving words and
kisses Sdeath! who dared kiss his
child, and he sprang into the room
and beheld the sight which increased
his fury: A young man clad in
Quaker clothes, seated upon the set
tie and Damaris on his lap, his arm

frantic voice, you have-killed your
